At least 10 people are now confirmed to have died in Los Angeles wildfires, which have destroyed more than 10,000 structures in the area. Firefighters continue to battle the spread of the flames, while police are investigating whether some have been set deliberately.

Two massive wildfires menacing Los Angeles from the east and west devoured nearly 10,000 homes and other structures, burning into a third night even as the fierce winds eased and gave firefighters a welcome but temporary respite.

Fires continue to rage across the Los Angeles area, prompting power outages, evacuation orders and curfews. The Palisades, Eaton, Hurst and Sunset fires have collectively consumed around 45 square miles.
